The program will offer two concentrations within the field: one dealing with practice within the criminal justice field and one dealing with administration and policy. Students will have to com- plete 39 semester hours, and the program is open to anyone who is interested. The idea for the program came about ten years ago, and was a part of the strategic plan for the university for the 1993- 199S and 1995-2000 years. "Starting a program like this is not done in isolation said Dr. Linner Griffin, interim dean of the School of Social Work and Criminal Justice. "It was done in cooperation with local agencies like the police department, sheriff's department and the pe- nal system For a university to start any new degree program, there are a series of steps that must be fol- lowed. First, the need for such a program must be assessed. Once the initial assessment is com- plete, an advisory committee is formed to oversee the rest of the project. "The committee looks at the curriculums at other schools and then makes a formal request to the Faculty Senate and the chan- cellor. If it is approved by them it goes to the UNC System Gen- eral Assembly. If they approve it, then the program becomes official Griffin said. In the past years, there has been a lot of interest expressed in a program of this sort. As part of the decision making process, an advisory group met made up of people from the community in the criminal justice field. "This program was requested by students, the community, practitioners, faculty and others in the field as a whole Griffin said. This writer can be contacted at cherold@itudentmedia.ecu.edu.

For full story, see page 9, (photo by Emily Richardson) While it appears that Pitt County is experienc- ing a more active flu season than last year's, ECU Student Health has reported only an average num- ber of flu cases. "We usually do clinical diagnoses based on the symptoms of the patient instead of doing a full flu culture that takes two to three weeks to get the results said Dr. Beta Aneja of Student Health. "We've had.five cases confirmed by a flu culture, 12-15 clinical diagnoses and about 100 other viral infections that may be the flu or flu-related Aneja said this number if cases is about aver- age for this time of year. However, doctors and nurses in other clinics around the county are reporting an increase of in- fluenza, said Tammy Quinn, the communicable disease nursing supervisor at the Pitt County Health Department. "Adults over the age of 65 and children with respiratory diseases are most at risk for contract- ing the illness Quinn said. There are two recently FDA-approved drugs on the market that weaken the virus and reduce the number of days of sickness. Relenza and Tamiflu are inhibitor drugs that offer relief from the clas- sic flu symptoms, including fatigue, body aches, loss of appetite and fever. "The new drugs don't take the flu away, but they shorten the time that you feel sick by one or two days Aneja said. Both medicines are administered by way of an inhaler, similar to those used to treat asthma suf- ferers. According to a Tamiflu Web site, when the patient inhales using the inhaler, the medicine, which is in the form of a fine, dry powder goes directly into the lungs, which is the primary site of infection and where the virus replicates. Both Tamiflu and Relenza must be prescribed by a doctor within 48 hours of the first symptoms for the treatment to be effective in shortening the The Relenza Diskhaler deposits medteine into the lungs, weakening the virus, (photo from World Wide'Web) run of the illness. Physicians at the Student Health Center are of- fering the new drugs as an option for students suf- fering from the illness. "We are giving out prescriptions for Relenza and Tamiflu, but they are not available in our phar- macy and they are fairly expensive Aneja said. The best way to avoid contracting the virus is to avoid crowded areas and people you know are sick. A flu vaccination is also a viable option for preventing illness and is recommended for adults over the age of 65 and children with respiratory diseases, Quinn said. � Although the vaccination is no longer available at the Student Health Center, the Pitt County Health Department is still offering them by ap- pointment. "If you do get sick, see your physician, get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids Quinn said. This writer can be contacted at news@s tudentmedia. ecu. ecu. ECU Dining Services sponsors 'Scurvy Awareness Week' Program targets poor eating habits Angela Harne ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR Sunkist and nutritional infor- mation comes to university din- ing halls just in time for Scurvy Awareness Week. From 11 a. ml :30 p.m. today in Todd Dining Hall and Thurs- day in Mendenhall Dining Hall, Sunkist will be supplying fresh oranges, health tips and informa- tion on the need for vitamins in the everyday diet. Manning Selvage St Lee Com- pany said Sunkist will be remind- ing students that oranges pro- vide a full day's worth of vitamin C. Campus Nutritionist Laura Hartung will be there providing additional information. "We will be giving away free T-shirts and orange peelers Hartung said. "To be eligible for the giveaways, students just need to fill out a survey on vitamin C knowledge. We hope to increase students' knowledge of good health techniques and how vi- tamin C can help reduce the risk of cancer while increasing their immune system John Eddings, manager of Mendenhall, said promotion of health tactics is a good idea. 1 "This is a great event Eddings said. "Students need to be know that the continuous in- take of oranges and vitamins will help them remain healthy ECU is part of a network of colleges across the country pro- moting the importance of a bal- anced diet and essential vitamin intake through whole foods like oranges. On-campus dining halls and cafes serve fresh fruits daily. "Everyone needs three to five servings of fresh fruit a day said Amy Hartman, marketing man- ager of Dining Services. "It's im- portant for students to know that fresh fruits are available in the dining halls and at all five cafes Sunkist will be educating stu- dents and faculty on how to avoid the debilitating disease, scurvy. According to Manning Sel- vage fir Lee, scurvy is not just something sailors used to get when they ran out of fruit on long voyages. In fact, last year two college students in Arizona contracted scurvy, a condition characterized by general weak- ness, gum disease or gingivitis and skin hemorrhages resulting from a lack of vitamin C in the diet. Manning Selvage fir Lee said scurvy is debilitating but com- pletely avoidable with proper a diet. A recent study revealed that college-age students would con- sume more or- anges if they were reminded that they are powerful anti- oxidants, con- taining 130 percent of the daily value for vitamin C as well as fiber, folic acid and phytochemkals. Based on this statistic, Sunkist created the Scurvy Boy campaign ex- clusively for college cam- puses. "We are proud to bring quality fruit and vital health infor- mation to the ECU campus, Winands, Sunkist spokesperson. "This year's crop is abundant and the oranges are delicious. Eating right has never tasted as good Manning Selvage fit Lee said free oranges, samples and Sunkist Snackers, easy-to-use orange peelers, will be distributed with Scurvy Boy brochures and nutri- tional sheets all week. Junior Shauna McCann takes an orange from the fruit stand at Mendenhall Student Center Oranges, a source of vitamin C, are one of the fruits that can be eaten to prevent scurvy (photo by Emily Richardson) said Gee To add to the fun, Scurvy Boy T-shirts and posters will be raffled and students will be in- troduced to the latest install- ment of the imaginative scurvyboy.com Web site. Scurvyboy.com revolves around Scurvy Boy, the green- haired kid who does not eat his oranges and ends up getting into all sorts of jams as a result. The 4 site is designed in Flash anima- tion as a virtual television set with three cable channels: The Scurvy Boy News Network, Name That Spew, the "Orange-inal" Game Show and" VJ Scurv" as the host on the music television sta- tion, SBTV.

The East Carolinian www.tec.ecu.edu NEWS Court reviews gun liability SAN FRANCISCO (AP)�Setting the stage for a major battle over gun liability, the state Supreme Court has agreed to review an appeal by the maker of semiautomatic pistols that were used to slaughter eight people in a San Francisco highrise. Six of the seven justices, all but Stanley Mosk, voted Wednesday to set aside the nation's first appellate ruling that would have allowed a gun manufacturer to be held re- sponsible for a criminal shooting. The high court will decide the issue after a hearing, which has not yet been scheduled. Before this case, every state and federal appellate court to consider suits against gun manufacturers has ruled that makers of legal, non-de- fective guns cannot be sued for their criminal misuse. But the state's 1st District Court of Appeal ruled last September that families of the victims in the San Francisco shooting were entitled to a trial on their claims that the Florida manufacturer of the TEC- DC9 marketed it to appeal to crimi- nals and should have foreseen that it would be used in a massacre. The manufacturer, Navegar Inc "had substantial reason to foresee that many of those to whom it made the TEC-DC9 available would criminally misuse it to kill and in- jure others said Presiding Justice J. Anthony Kline in the 2-1 ruling. The case could affect suits against gunmakers by Los Angeles, San Francisco and 10 other Califor- nia cities and counties, claiming faulty design, manufacture and dis- tribution of firearms. At least 16 similar suits have been filed by lo- cal governments elsewhere. The case dates from July 1993, when Gian Luigi Ferri, a mentally disturbed man with a grudge against lawyers, entered the 101 California St. skyscraper and opened fire in a law office with two TEC-DC9s and a revolver. He killed eight people and wounded six before killing him- self. Copies of Soldier of Fortune and similar magazines, in which Navegar commonly advertised the TEC-DC9, were found in Ferri's apartment in the Los Angeles sub- urb of Woodland Hills. The TEC-tiC9, a high-capacity pistol easily converted to fully au- tomatic fire, was one of the guns used by two students to kill 12 fel- low students and a teacher in Littleton, Colo last April. The ap- peals court quoted Navegar's former marketing director as saying in 1992 that sales went up when the gun was used in a notorious crime. A Superior Court judge dis- missed the damage suit, saying there was no evidence that Navegar's marketing practices had influenced Ferri or helped to cause the killings. But the appeals court said a jury should decide whether Navegar's overall promotion of theTEC-DC9, its sale of the pistol to the general public and the gun's ready use for spray fire caused deaths and inju- ries that otherwise would not have occurred. Nature Bo for Governor Charlotte, NC (AP)�Wrestler Ric "Nature Boy" Flair wants to follow the lead of Jesse "The Body" Ventura, now Minnesota's governor, and run for governor of North Carolina. Flair, a 50-year-old platinum-maned pro wrestler said last week on the Live with Regis and Kathie Lee TV show that he might run as an independent candidate. "I'm putting together a team, and I'm going to take a shot at it Flair said after the show. The subject arose when host Regis Philbin asked Flair whether he had ever thought about the governor's job. "Unofficially, I am going to run for gover- nor myself Flair said. "This is the unofficial official announcement The last time a celebrity tried his hand in North Carolina politics was in 1996, when NASCAR driver Richard Petty lost his bid to be elected secretary of state. "Actually. I have been asked to run for office a lot over the last ten years. Jesse's proved that anything can happen Flair said. "He is a char- ismatic guy. I think the political system is open to a lot of opportunities right now YAKIMA, Wash. (AP)�Fourteen years ago, a pair of rare medals handed out to friendly Indians by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark were stolen from a museum in the Columbia River Gorge. Now, with the bicentennial anniversary of the Corps of Discov- ery expedition just a few years away, Maryhill Museum is renewing its efforts to find the valuable pieces. "They have a great deal of historical value said Lee Musgrave, spokesman for the museum, which over- looks a section of the river route the two explorers took to the Pacific Ocean in 1804-1805. The monetary value of the medals is less definite, but insurance documents from the time of the theft estimated the pair to be worth about17,000. The two coins are the same: not quite two inches in diameter, with a depiction of a man sowing grain on one skte and the words "Second Presidency of Geo. Washjngfbrf MDCCXCVI" on the other. Lejwis and Clark carried 55 of these "Washington season medals" with them on their expedition, along with larger and more prestigious Jefferson peace med- als, said the Rev. Francis Paul Prucha, an American his- tory professor retired from Marquette University. Historic Lewis, Glark medals missing There were three "season" designs: a man sowing, a woman spinning and a man with cattle and sheep. Prucha, reading from his book, "Indian Peace Med- als in American History said there were 700 season medals ordered from England, 500 in silver and 200 in copper. The medals arrived in the United States in June 1798, after Washington's second term of office had ended and John Adams was president, Prucha said. The practice of giving peace medals to tribal lead- ers began in the Washington administration and con- tinued into the 1880s, according to the National Park Service. The presidential peace medals showed an image of the president on one side and, on the other side, two hands clasped in friendship with a crossed peace pipe and tomahawk above them. The peace medals were presented to Indian leaders with great ceremony. "They were a sign of allegiance almost between the Indians and the federalgovernment Prucha said. The season medals probably would have been a somewhat lesser offering than the presidential medals, although "they're numismatically quite important. People will pay a lot of money for them because there aren't very many he said. The two missing medals had been given to two fami- lies of the Upper Chinook Band and were donated to the museum in the 1940s by the Underwood family, who were descendants of Chief Chenowuth of the Cas- cade Tribe. In 1986, the medals, suspended on a single leather thong with glass trade and shell beads, were on display as part of a special exhibit. They were shown on a sculp- ture stand, under a plastic-glass cover. . A thief removed the security screws in the cover, and took the medals, which are said to be a bronze-like color. A docent noticed their disappearance within 24 hours. "1 would say that they seemed targeted Musgrave said. "It would have been possible to steal other things in that same display The theft was reported to the Klickitat County Sheriff's Office in nearby Goldendale and the FBI, but the medals were never recovered. There was also no clue as to who might have done it since the museum averages 10,000 a visitors a month, Musgrave said.

Although students who support the boycott are doing so with fer- vor, others insist the issue will not keep them away from Myrtle's surf and sand after finals week. Protesting the Confederate flag flying above the state capitol, the National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People (NAACP), led nationally by Kweisi Mfume, has called for a boycott of South Carolina until the state's leg- islature agrees to remove the flag. Although the source of the con- troversy lies in a neighboring state, many student groups and individu- als have a vested interest in the is- sue. Duke NAACP President Kameron Matthews, a Trinity senior, said that the Duke chapter will do its part to persuade university stu- dents to support the boycott. "We will be asking others to se- riously consider canceling their Myrtle Beach plans for May Matthews said. Although the president of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc declined to comment, other leaders of Duke's black fraternities and sorori- ties were eager to voice support for the boycott. Delta Sigma Theta is the only national Greek organiza- tion currently listed on the NAACP Web site as officially supporting the boycott. Trinity junior Carliss Chatman, president of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc declared that her so- rority would unequivocally follow the boycott. "If the boycott is still going during Myrtle week, our chapter won't go Chatman said. The controversy has prompted some to take an active role in the protest. Stefan France, a Trinity se- nior and president of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc said that his fraternity would try to put pressure on the South Carolina legislature by doing more than just foregoing Myrtle week. "Our national organization, in conjunction with the NAACP, has organized groups 6f people to pro- test and boycott in order to address this issue France said. However, some students felt that the boycott would not dissuade them from vacationing at Myrtle Beach with other Duke students. "Myrtle week is obviously a Duke tradition, and 1 look forward to it every year said Trinity sophomore Carla Rothenberg. "It's too bad that South Carolina still flies the Confed- erate flag above the capitol, but I still plan on going Others took issue with the boy- cott itself. "It's unfair to make the whole state suffer said Trinity junior Dania Ermentrout, who likened the boycott against South Carolina to current United States economic sanctions against Cuba. "South Carolina is a poor state, and flying the Confederate flag is the fault of the legislators, not the small busi- ness owners The fact remains that many stu- dents and organizations have yet to deliberate over the controversy, and how it pertains to Myrtle week. Thousands gather in Madrid, protest bombing MADRID, Spain (AP)� Clamoring for an end to political killings, about 100,000 people marched through central Madrid on Sunday to express anger at a car-bomb attack blamed on Basque separatists. Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar and former pre- miers Felipe Gonzalez, Adolfo Suarez and Leopoldo Calvo Sotelo led the demonstration, carrying a gi- ant banner that read: 'For Peace and Liberty. Terror- ism No Crowds packed a nearly two-kilometer (one-mile) stretch through the city to show that they oppose what many fear could be a renewed campaign by separatists Many of the crowd the clapped rhythmically as they walked while others carried banners with slo- gans that read 'ETA No in reference to the armed separatist group believed responsible for Friday's morning rush-hour attack that killed an army colo- nel. In a speech at the rally, Basque actor Imanol Arias said "the terrorists must be forced to lose any hope of getting anywhere by killing innocent people. "That's enough. No more killing he shouted to the applause of thousands packing Puerta del Sol in the heart of Madrid. Initial police estimates put the crowd attendance at 100,000. All mainstream Spanish parties were represented at the rally except for the Basque Nationalist Party, which has been heavily criticized in recent months for maintaining ties with Herri Batasuna, a party linked to the separatist gunmen. Similar, although smaller, rallies were held Fri- day and Saturday in cities and towns across Spain. Meanwhile, ETA supporters were blamed for a Molotov cocktail attack on a Civil Guard building in the northern Basque city of San Sebastian. No one was injured in the violence. Molotov cocktail attacks have become a regular feature of weekend violence in the Basque region in recent years. ETA, whose name stands for Basque Homeland and Freedom, has not claimed responsibility for Friday's attack. However, many say the bomb attack bore the group's hallmark. ETA, which has killed nearly 800 people in a three-decade campaign for independent Basque na- tion, had warned Dec. 3 that the cease-fire it declared in Sept. 1998 was over and attacks would resume. Its last killing was in June 1998. College student says he lost 245 pounds eating Subway subs ?,N?1�N: Jnd! (AP) - P� a commercial now be- that our low-fat sandwich ��h �. �� 'I . � J Bl.OOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) Jared Fogle stands at the counter of a Subway shop near the campus of Indiana University, watching an employee assemble a foot-long veg- etable sub that he has ordered. The two exchange some small talk and share a laugh. They have gotten to know each other pretty well, what with Fogle eating almost nothing but low-calorie, low-fat sandwiches from the shop for nearly i year and shedding 245 pounds rom his 6-foot-2 frame in the pro- :ess. Fogle went from a colossal 425 ounds to a much slimmer 180 ounds on his unusual diet. When ubway executives got word of his emarkable weight-loss story, they put him in a commercial now be ing aired around the country. The 30-second spot was filmed on a sunny December day in Pasa- dena, Calif. It begins with a picture of the old Jared Fogle, then cuts to images of the new Jared Fogle cheerfully ordering a Subway sand- wich and eating it on a park bench. "We're not saying that his diet is right for you. You should talk to your doctor first the announcer says. "But it is food for thought A year of veggie subs is not the dream diet for everyone. Michele Klotzer, a spokes- woman for Milford, Connbased Subway, concurs. "We're very proud of Jared's ac- complishment, and we're pleased that our low-fat sandwiches could fit into his meal plan, but it's not a diet that we endorse by any means she said. Nelda Mercer, a registered dieti- tian with Health Media Inc. in Ann Arbor, Mich and a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Associa- tion, said Fogle ate "relatively healthy" during his diet because sev- eral food groups are represented in the sandwiches. She said he prob- ably should have included skim milk or yogurt to ensure he was getting enough calcium. She added that most people probably would become bored quickly by Fogle's repetitive meal- time regimen and gone off the diet. Instead of quick-fix diets, the ADA recommends lifestyle changes: eat- ing the right foods, consuming fewer calories and exercising. Fogle, 22; a senior in business management at Indiana University, started steadily gaining weight when he was in the third or fourth grade and continued to do so throughout high school, despite fre- quent warnings from his father, In- dianapolis'physician Norman Fogle. "I never listened, you know the younger Fogle said in an interview. "It went in one ear and out the other. It didn't cause me to change my ways. It had to be me who wanted to do that At IU, Fogle's weight skyrocketed and he became dangerously obese. He wore size XXXXXXL shirts, the largest sold by big-and-tall men's stores and pants with 60-inch waists. He often fell asleep in class and found himself short of breath after walking one or two blocks. Worried about his health and unhappy about his appearance, he found salvation at the Subway shop next door to his off-campus apart- ment. One evening in mid-March 1998, he suddenly decided to live on a steady diet of the franchise's low-fat subs. From then until late February 1999, he followed virtually the same mealtime routine every day. He skipped breakfast. He had a 6-inch turkey breast sub, small bag of baked Lays potato chips and Diet Coke for lunch. He downed a foot-long veggie sub and a Diet Coke for din- ner. Total daily dietary intake: about 1,000 calories. "The biggest question people would ask me was, 'Did you ever get sick of it?' and I never did Fogle said. "Every time I would come in here, I would sort of be excited about it, knowing I was going to get to eat this sandwich. I don't know why Only a few meals, usually dur- ing holidays or other special occa- sions, didn't include a Subway sand- � wich. At those times, he always was careful to eat small portions of low- fat foods. � roclTx 3 ; i Ticket ma Start the semester off on the right foot!

Then came the aesthetic renovation of campus, and we lost our sign.

But when our turn came around, we were told we should be satisfied with a slot on the directory inside-the building. Including your student publications on any proper type of sign is apparently too much clutter. One of the most important student functions on cam- pus has been reduced to what university officials call "sign pollution " We give you this as another example of bureaucracy in action People run around all day at Expressions and the Rebel, and especially at the Media Board Office; they're doing their jobs, keeping the ECU public in the know, all the while forlorn at their loss of place in the world.

You can't miss it OPINION COLUMN No Espanol spoken here Patrick McMahon OPINION WRITER LETTERT0 THE EDITOR Safety measures misinterpreted as discrimination Dear Editor, I am writing in response to the article written in Our View, Jan. 20, 2000 discussing racial bias in down- town. To begin with, the so-called "excuses" that were referred to that do not allow some people from getting in should be recognized as legitimate reasons for not allowing certain people in. I do not think it is too much to ask for that people dress in a respectable manner when going downtown. If you want to be treated with- out respect, then by all means � please � dress and act that way. For a matter of fact, this rule is upheld more for r the ladies than it is for the men. 1 would believe this certain rule to be more as gender discrimination than racial. Women are far more likely to be discriminated against for the way they dress than the men. How many of you have seen a girl in a skimpy skirt and tank top and immediately thought she was easy? And for the men � the "baggy pants" could easily conceal a weapon. Secondly, for those of you who have obviously not worked in a bar before � the rules are not only looked to for customers but also for staff. I'm sure that I'antana Bob's has cracked down on letting some people in, but that is for safety � not for discrimination. I had friends injured in the fight there last May when a young man brought in a knife and decided to start cutting people after his friend had been kicked out. You've got to be naive or stupid to think they would allow anyone in that they even remotely believed could cause trouble. If I owned a downtown business I would be the same way. Thirdly � the membership policy is not to keep out minorities, it is enforced to keep ECU students � all who frequent downtown � safe. That is the sole reason any of these rules is enforced. Remember that it is a privilege to be allowed into any of these establishments and that privilege can be revoked at any time. If you do want to be let in, then dress and act in an appropriate manner because if you don't respect yourself it's a safe bet you will not re- ceive any respect or special treatment from the door- men.

Many people come up to me and say, "Ryan-Dogg, I'm scared, not to mention frightened of what the next 100 years is going to do to affect me and my way of life. And even though technically only the next 50 or so years will truly affect me, I'd still like to know what you think is going to happen for the whole amount of time be- cause I know you'll want to use a lot of column space discussing it My reply to this is, "Hey, thanks, dude I've thought about this really hard for the last few minutes, and I think I may have some predictions for you and yours�-whoever yours is: 1. March 23,2021�Elvis Presley, Adolph Hitler and Jimmy Hoffa will all be spotted at the same time to- gether on an iceberg, thereby ruining a half-century of research. They will then re-enter civilization just as they left it: eating 12 fried banana sandwiches at one sit- ting, planning genocide and doing whatever it is that Hoffa did before they went on their ice-fishing expedi- tion. 2. March 23, 2013�The good scientists (not those evil ones) of Helsinki, Finland will devise a Teflon tarp to cover the hole in the ozone. This attempt will fail as the Hubble telescope tears through it during a forced re-entry. 3. March 23, 2005�The Backstreet Boys, N-Sync, Five and Tom Green are sling-shot directly into the sun (which back in the 1900s was thought to be a star) in order to prevent future generations from making such ghastly mistakes. No one seems to notice their absence. 4. March 23, 2096�The immortal David Crosby will surpass the Wayans Brothers' dad's record by fa- thering his 1000th child. He celebrates with a good stiff shot of moonshine from his own still. 5. March 23, 2037�Pauly Shore comes back with a vengeance, wreaking havoc on the Home Shopping Network, right smack dab in the middle of the "Big Scary Knife" show. He wounds two camera lenses and one key grip laughs himself into a coma as he witnesses that Pauly can't look menacing eveh with a 2-foot long blade in his hand. Pleading insanity because of his old age, he's sent to WCW and becomes Ric Flair's whip- ping boy. 6.

He resumes his original ; work at The East Carolinian and actually writes an ar- ticle worth reading. Well, that's about it for this week. Just call me Ndstradamus. Until next week, Ryan-Dogg-Aholics! Demosthenes OPINION WRITER 1 remember when the hype was just beginning, and everyone was advising me to make plans early for the celebration of the approaching millennium, century and year as the Western World's calendar turned from 1999 to the spectacular 2000. Apparently, hotels in most major global cities had already been booked solid and available airline tickets for the hot date were becoming an extinct commodity. The humorous part of all of this is, not only was there no excess of celebration by individuals, but many were discouraged by the hype and by travel agencies jacking up rates two to three times the norm. What were people doing if they weren't standing shoulder-to-shoulder at Times Square you might ask? They were spending the turn of the millennium with their families. A majority of people chose to be near loved ones rather than on some all out vacation or cruise, and this says an important thing to me: Family comes first. Af- ter all, when it comes to the bottom line, who should you really be able to rely on? The general feeling regarding this event was one of uncertainty and concern as is the case with every new year's introduction; only magnified by the factor of a thousand. Probably the greatest contributing element to this year's hysteria was the much talked about Y2K com- puter bug. When something like this occurs, it makes you wonder what could happen if machines had wider control of human functions. Even though this event was coordinated by a cal- endar which is not observed by the entire world, it seemed as though there was a general feeling of peace among nations. The spectacle around the Great Pyra- mid at Giza was especially impressive since it had al- ready seen six millennia in its time. Another glitch in all the hype is the ongoing con- troversy of which year constitutes the new millennium. Nowhere in the bible do you see the phrase, "In the year 0 of our Lord " This makes me laugh at the silliness of it all. I am glad to see that as a majority, people were not caught up in the hysteria, which forced the travel agents and airlines to slash prices due to low booking. This was the pay-back for their greed. Myself, I had a wild New Year's Eve, and I spent it with my family. I hope yours was as satisfying, and I wish you the best in the coming year. I also feel sorry for the poor saps with Y2K shelters in their backyards. So be safe and keep collecting those canned goods for the next millennium, until we meet again.

FEATURES Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2000 ! Pets provide companionship, warmth Animals have therapeutic effects Ryan Kennemur SENIOR WRITER Pets are truly members of the American family. Today, approximately 60 percent of all households have at least one dog, cat, bird or other companion animal. Pets are popular with all ages because they provide compan- ionship, unconditional love and a sense of safety for their owners. The biggest question prospective pet owners face remains: What kind of pet is best suited for me? Karen Honeycutt, a veterinarian - from Raleigh, sheds some light on the subject. "You have to realize that the pet will become your daily responsibil- ity Honeycutt said. "People like to go out and get the first puppy that catches their eye or the latest status- symbol pet that they can show off at backyard barbecues. Then when they bring their new pet home, (hey find out that they have bitten off more than they can chew Different people have different tastes regarding pets, and vice versa. According to Petopia.com, dogs are very interactive, trainable and need an owner who can play with them often. Cats, however, take up little space and are able to entertain them- selves. They can also be left alone Before buying a pet, consider this: 1. Do you have room for a pet? 2. What activities do you en joy and can your pet en joy them with you? 3. How do you spend your day and what can you do with your pet during long absences? 4. Is there a "No-Pet" clause in your lease? 5. How much will your pet cost? 6.

"We are so proud of what she's vdoing said Karin Cornwell.

According to Paige Kisser, Peace Corps' public affairs specialist, there have been a total of 102 volunteers from ECU since the Peace Corps' establishment in 1961; currently there are 10 ECU graduates serving overseas. r So, why oin the Peace Corps? According to campus recruiter Tara Komano, there are many reasons why people choose to volunteer. "Some of the main reasons are Jfor people to use their creativity and resourcefulness in real life ex- periences and to gain the interna- tional experience while traveling komano said. � ipor students leaving college, Romano sees it as chance to take what was learned in the classroom and apply it to a more hands-on situation, thus gaining more expe- rience. Peace corps volunteers are lo- cated in approximately 80 coun- tries. There are six assignments in which volunteers can be placed: agriculture, education, environ- ment, community development, business development and health and nutrition. "A person placed in health and nutrition may work with pregnant women on prenatal care and teach them.the importance of vaccina- tions Romano said. "Or they could become involved with public health issues or having a safe drinking wa- ter supply The Peace Corps looks at the whole person when screening po- tential volunteers.

Mandorico spices up Greenville nightlife with Latin flavor Jesse Launcella. lead vocalist for Mandorico.stands in Peasant's where he and his band performed Friday night (photo by OUoull VvHUHl) Exclusive with Jesse iauricella, lead vocalist for Mandorico Susan Wright FEATURES EDITOR Initially, Mandorico was a small name in Greenville that had little crowd response. After performing around town a couple of times over the past year, the size of their fol- lowers has steadily grown. With fans screaming out song lyrics like "cada vez que te veo el hermano, cada vez que te veo asi it was apparent Friday night that Mandorico's popularity in Greenville has definitely increased. The lead singer, Jesse I.auricella, is in it for love of the music. I.auricella sat down with us and shared his experi- ences as well as his thoughts on music, success and the fans that fol- low Mandorico. TEC: How did you get started with the Latinska music that you play? JI I lived in Mexico. I used to have a ska band in Atlanta, and I moved to Mexico for six months and I got turned on to a lot of the Latin music down there. My band at home kind of disintegrated, and I got with the guitar player Mark, and we sat down and talked about Latin bands. We realized that we didn't know any- thing about Latin music so basically we started off more ska-oriented and then we began mixing in more of the Latin, rock, hip-hop and stuff like that, and it got to where it is today. TEC: Who is one of your fa- vorite Latin American artists? JL: Los Fabulosos Cadillacs. TEC: What kind of music do they play? JL: Basically, a real across the board mix, like really folkloric Latin to punk, ska, samba. They do a bunch of everything, but the thing that I liked about them was that they did some of everything, and they did it all really well. That's probably my favorite band. TEC: How do you dance to your music? JL: However you want really. I've seen people come out and dance salsa, and I've seen people come out and just jump around. A lot of Latin music has a distinct step, but music like reggae doesn't. Once you get familiar with the rhythm, you can just go back and forth. TEC: Where did you get your name from? JL: It came from a short story from Puerto Rico. I was studying Spanish literature at Georgia State, and one of the stories that we read was called "Pico Rico Mandorico and it's from a Puerto Rican writer. Mark and I were talking about names for the band, and I threw that out half kidding, and he thought that was cool, and it just kind of stuck from there. TEC: Are you fluent in Span- ish? JL: Yes. I studied Spanish litera- ture in college, and I lived in Mexico. That made it happen; I had no choice. It was either learn the language or don't eat. TEC: How long have you been playing? JL: With this band, three years. TEC: Do you all want to keep getting bigger, or do you want to stay more of a local band? JL: It's funny because we talk about that all the time, and I think that one of the things that I don't know if people realize is that when you are operating on a certain business level, you know it might be comfortable for the fans to come see you at certain venues with 200 other people. But, finan- cially, when you have as big a band as we do, with eight members, it gets to a point where you can only play so much for the amount of money that you're making. I'd like to see the band get more successful, and get better venues; possibly go overseas. Not only for the reasons that I'd like to get it out to more fans and stuff, but it would make doing this as a liv- ing, you know, making music, a lot easier, a lot less stressful. It's fun to play at the small shows at the clubs and stuff, but there is a reality factor. TEC: What's your favorite city to play in? JL: We really dig Greenville a lot. It's a really supportive city. We've been through here like two or three times over the past two years. It has been a really weird city for us because for our first year, we got absolutely no reaction at all. When that happens three or four times, you tend not to go back. You have other cities that you have been working on. Last year, like every time we came through, we got a real nice crowd, and people started buying our records. That really makes all the dif- ference for the band because people know that they're enjoying your music, and they appreciate what thev are bringing you. It's not terribly easy to do. Even before we walk in the door, we have put $500-600 in even before we play. That's not including paying ourselves or anything. TEC: How much time do you spend practicing? JL: None. This is the least practic- ing band that we've ever been in. A' lot of that is due to the fact that we've i been traveling so much lately. I don't think that people understand.

Plymouth attorney Evelyn But- ler complained last week that mov- ies Tike "Basic Instinct" and "9 12 Weeks" had been show to juvenile offenders at the W.J. Maxey Train- ing School near Whitmore Lake for years. She asked state Attorney Gen- eral Jennifer Granholm to stop the practice. Friday, FIA treatment centers were given word by phone of the new policy, said the agency's deputy director, Mark Jasonowicz. A com- plete written policy is being devel- oped. "We made a small dent in a big problem Ms. Butler told the De- troit Free Press for a story Saturday. "The R-rated movies only exemplify the hostile atmosphere" at the train- ing school, she said. Jasonowicz said R-rated movfes have been used at the training schools as a way to spark discussions about violence and sexuality. In a staff meeting this week, Jasonowicz said James Beougher, the FIA's head of child and family services, lobbied to keep the movies. Beougher said some R-rated movies, such as Steven Spielberg's heralded Holocaust movie "Schlndler's List are useful in teaching values to youths who have victimized other people. "I'm not a social worker, but to the lay person, I have a hard time agreeing with that philosophy Jasonowicz said. "We don't really think there are enough (R-rated) movies out there that have redeem- ing value as part of treatment Ms. Butler said she had discov- ered Maxey records from the early 1990s that indicated R-rated mov- ies were regularly shown to youths age 13 to 20. She said she found logs that documented the movies shown at Maxey while working on a law- suit on behalf of Kurt Synnestvedt. His wife, Barbara, was murdered at Maxey's Green Oak Center in 1993. Butler said she was prompted to go public about the movies after Oakland County Probate Judge Eu- gene A. Moore sentenced 14-year- old Nathaniel Abraham to Maxey on Jan. 13. at what I've put into it and what I've got out of it, I'm probably $10,000 upside down. We don't do it for the money.

Also, studies have shown that watching fish, either fresh or saltwater, can help lower one's blood pressure But with all the good things that WWW come with owning a pet, there are also down sides. Owners must take on the responsibility of feeding the pet regularly, which includes buy- ing food on a weekly basis, keeping a clean living environment and cleaning up after the pet.

Owning a pet can be a highly re- warding experience to everyone, re- gardless of age, sex or race.

(AP) � For 60 years, its willow branches shel- tered their lakeside domain, offer- ing shade and a sense of perma- rience with each turning of the sea- Sons. i(- But then a fierce wind blew across Lake Madison three or four ears back, snapping the gentle old giant in Art and Erma Arshem's back yard. The big willow had grown to 50 or (50 feet tall since they first planted it in 1937. And now it was reduced to 18 feet of stripped, shattered wood. "What to do? After three years of pondering the question, Art Arshem came up with two possibilities. He could cut the rest down and haul it away. Or he could find a new purpose for an old friend. 'He chose the latter. And this is where the story really gets interest- ing. , At age 86, Arshem decided to pursue a new hobby. Something he never had time for in all those years he was running the Arshem Broth- ers filling station on First Avenue in downtown Sioux Falls, across from the Shriver Building. Something he ' just couldn't fit in, either, during 20 ,years of operating Sioux Cab in Sioux Falls. " He decided to become a chain- saw sculptor. That's right, a Michelangelo of the whirring, ripping blades. He looked at that old willow and de- cided there was a Viking inside it. And in the course of about three months, that's exactly what has taken shape on the southeast side of Lake Madison. Using two different saws - with 8- and 16-inch blades - Arshem hacked and cut and trimmed. He lopped off the top 10 feet of the tree to get it down to a workable height. And halfway through the project, he managed to lop off one of the Viking's hands, too. "I was trying to extend his saber down to the base, and 1 accidentally hit the hand he says. The memory brings a hearty laugh. "So I'm work- ing around it Good artists do that, you know. And as it turns out, Arshem is a pretty good artist, especially for a guy whose background in wood- working amounts to making end tables, kitchen cabinets and one fairly respectable boat. From the willow has emerged a 7-foot Norseman he calls Lars. "That was my dad's name Arshem explains, "Dad loved the lake. So I named him after my dad I.ars has horns and a helmet. He has a long saber at his left side. And when the artist finishes his work this spring and summer, he will have a mail suit hanging from his shoulders. "I've got about 15, 20 hours left of work on him Arshem says as he sits in the kitchen of his Sioux Falls home on South Grange Avenue. "I have to finish his eyes, and 1 haven't finished around his chin or the top of his boots. But I'm getting there As you might imagine, old Lars has become quite a conversation piece around the lake. People have parked along the private access road and stared at the emerging figure. Some have walked into the yard to check him out. "I never dreamed it would be anything like this Arshem says. "What would be all the attraction on it in this part of the country? I don't know. But people sure seem interested in it So interested, it turns out, that the snow in the backyard of their lake cabin has revealed footprints coming right up next to Lars this winter. Arshem says he chose a Viking because of his own Norwegian heri- tage. "I'm Scandinavian, so I'm a Vi- king he says. "My friends send me cards about being Norwegian, and some get kind of hostile. But I don't mind it. We Norwegians are pretty easygoing people Pretty talented, too, it turns out. Thanks to the warm days of the ex- tended autumn, Arshem was able to . prove that as he whacked away with his chain saw and carved away on the finer details with his chisel. He figures he put in about 1MJ hours on the sculpture, much of that on a ladder so he could reach the top of Lars. The work ended for the season around Thanksgiving. It will continue again when spring comes around.

ECU opened the game with a 13-2 run against the Seahawks. Senior forward Neil Punt posted six of his 15 points in the opening minutes. The Pirate defense held the Seahawks to just 27 percent shooting from the field in the first half while ECU'S offense took a 17 point lead on two occasions before entering the locker room with a 35-20 lead. "Our defense played great for 40 minutes and we came out in the second half with a chance to go up 25 or 30 points first year head coach Bill Herrion said. "But we missed three front ends of 1-and-l situ- ations that could have put us up 28 points. We didn't make them or some other free throws and they hit some 3-pointers to get back in it. But give the kids credit because they stuck with it ECU continued to score in the second half as the Pirates opened with a 13-4 run to put the Seahawks down by 24 points. In the final eight minutes of the game, UNC-W sparked a 25-4 run that brought the Seahawks within 3 points. The run was led by UNC-W freshman guard Brett Blizzard who posted 12 of his 24 points as he hit four 3-pointers in 2:05 to bring the Seahawks back into the game. "We knew coming in UNC Wilmington was not going to give up and that itj was going to be tough to put away Herrion said. "They showed that today. UNC Wilmington Is a talented club and we just held them off. Now we need to learn to put people away ECU held onto the win by com- pleting 7-8 free throws with 42.4 re- maining in the game to give the Pi- rates an eight point advantage. "Good teams know how to put people away Herrion said. "We would have liked to have won by 20 points, but we put ourselves in a position late in the game that maybe we can learn from The 25 point run by the Seahawks had people on edge while the team was confident they could hold on. "I knew we had it the whole time said senior forward Neil Punt. "I knew we were going to step up and hit shots ECU finished the game with a 35-33 rebound advantage, the Pirate's seventeenth game out of 18 with the rebound advantage. ECU shot 49 percent (20 of 41) from the floor and 61 percent (20 of 33) from the free throw line. The Pirates will return to action on January 26 when they travel to Richmond to face CAA foe Virginia Commonwealth. This writer can be contacted at smilenkevich@studentmedia.ecu.edu. David Taylor scores his only bucket in ECU's 66-57 win over UNCW (photo by Bobby Russell) OPINION COLUMN Tarheels' hard times are no surprise Tar Heels not included on AP Top 25 for the first time in a decade Stephen Schramm SPORTS EDITOR Alphons van Ireland scored five points and grabbed two rebounds in Saturday's game (photo by Bobby Russell) Ok, I know this is the ECU student paper, but 1 can't help myself. The most talked about sports story in the state is wi thout a doubt, the collapse of the Caro- lina Blue hoops dynasty. Yesterday, for the first time since 1990, an AP Top 25 came out that did not include the Tarheels. As a j person who has spent 18 of his 21 years living iril Chapel Hill, I can say this, Carolina fans are not ac-TJ customed to losing and for them, the sky is indeed falling. Now to many, this comes as a surprise. The Heels were picked No. 2 in the nation by Sports Illustrated, and were in the preseason top ten in most national polls. Carolina was also picked to finish atop the ACC. All this for a team who was bounced from last years' NCAA tournament in the first round by Weber State? I don't get it. North Carolina finished the 1999 sea- - son with a whimper. They were plagued by inconsis- tency. They won the preseason NIT, and limped through the ACC schedule. They got to the final of the ACC tournament and then stunk up Seattle in their opening round loss to Weber State. For a team coming off of such a disappointing sea- son, they got an awful lot of credit coming into this year. The amount of praise heaped upon these Heels is � made more puzzling by the fact that they lost last season's floor leader, Ademola Okulaja, to graduation. the lack of leadership is evident to even the most casual observers. This year's squad often looks rudder- less and they play with out fire. It seems that in every game, the Heels' opponent looks as if they just want it more. In the eyes of many Carolina fans, slumps like this happen everywhere, except Chapel Hill.

The team has been working extremely hard since their Christmas training and has not let up on prac- tice since they got back to campus. "Tired is the only word Butler said. "Everybody is so tired.

The loss knocked the men to 6-3, :i-2. "This is one of the top teams in the conference said captain Matt Jabs. "They have a lot of national caliber talent on their team. It was the kind of meet where everybody had to he at the top of their game. Today some of us were and some of us weren't While a loss is not a positive happening, Matt Jabs explains that it is not the end of the world. "The initial loss always hurts because of the expec- tations Jabs said. "But after that you have a win some, lose some attitude while still striving lor excellence This is turning out to be a great season for both the men's and women's teams. The women are on the verge of an undefeated conference record. "As a senior, I can say that there is nothing that makes me happier than to see everyone be as success- ful as they have been Butler said. Coach Kobe put the meet in perspective. "We were pleased with how everyone swam, Ameri- can is probably the toughest team in the conference Kobe said. "We took them down to the last two events, any time you score 100 points you have to be happy.

KALEIGH, N.C. (AP)�The Carolina Hurricanes got a player with impeccable playoff credentials. The Phila- delphia Flyers received some insurance for corxeussion- prone star Eric Lindros. ,J(n the biggest NHL trade this season, Carolina fi- najjby unloaded disgruntled former captain Keith Prjjmeau on Sunday for Rod Brind'Amour. .Xhe two veteran centers have comparable career numbers, except in the postseason, where Brind'Amour has 33 goals in 87 games. Primeau has ojlly six in 64. � ZAny time that Eric (Lindros) had an injury when ym look at who the guy was that stepped up and made that team go Brind'Amour was always that guy Caro- lina coach Paul Maurice said of one of Philadelphia's mast popular players. "He'll have an opportunity to cfcihat here on a nightly basis because he is going to recounted on that strongly 1 "Primeau, 28, had been in a contract dispute with (Slolina since he became a restricted free agent July 1 afiS vowed never to play for the Hurricanes again. 2 "Carolina general manager Jim Rutherford said the t$n resisted trading Primeau until recently, when sev- eRJ teams began inquiring about the rugged 6-foot-5, 2J-pounder. JlfThe deal with the Flyers was apparently off Satur- dSS night, but things fell into place early Sunday. J IJPrimeau, who missed Carolina's first 48 games af- tftjleading them with 30 goals a season ago, said he sjjped a five-year, $22.75 million contract with the Fftf rs and should be in uniform Thursday night. He vfljj receive $5 million a year the last three years of t deal. SSTheoniy regret that 1 would have is that it didn't vfctTR out in the first place Primeau said. "As far as how it has unfolded and how it has developed, I don't have any regrets Primeau's relationship with team owner Peter Karmanos deteriorated during the five-month dispute. "It's best left unsaid Primeau said when asked if he had anything to say to Karmanos, who at one point in the negotiations called Primeau a 'prima donna Karmanos released a statement through the team's public relations office. "When you break it all down, Keith basically got the same contract we originally offered him in Au- gust Karmanos said. That's true. Carolina's first contract offer to Primeau in July was five years for $20 million. He then turned down various other offers for fewer years and less money over the past few months. "We don't think this is a contract that embarrasses what we did Rutherford said. "Once he passed on arbitration for the month of August, we had $20 mil- lion on the table for him. So, he still ended up getting a five-year deal. As an organization, we felt it was im- portant to keep his contract in line Brind'Amour, an 11 -year NHL veteran, had played in 484 straight games before missing the first 34 games this season with a broken left foot. Since returning to the lineup, the 6-foot-l, 200-pound center has eight points in 12 games. ' Rod Brind'Amour is the newest member of the Carolina Hurricanes (AP photo)' "He is one of the top two-way centers in the Na- tional Hockey League Rutherford said. Maurice said Brind'Amour, 29, would center a line with wings Gary Roberts and Jeff O'Neill against Montreal on Monday night. Maurice made the phone call to Brind'Amour to inform him of the trade. He was in Pittsburgh get- ting ready to play the Penguins. "I think he knew the call was coming Maurice said. "While there may have been a shock to it when he finally heard it, he is still that great pro and he snapped right into the arrangements of when he was coming. "He got very focused at the job at hand. There wasn't any, 'I'll have to call you back or I have to talk to my agent It was hockey Rutherford said Brind'Amour has two years re- maining on his contract, which will pay him $3.5 mil- lion next season and then $4.2 million. Carolina also gets 21-year-old goalie Jean-Marc Pelletier and a second-round pick at the NHL entry draft in June. The Flyers will get Carolina's fifth pick. Primeau has 179 goals, 227 assists and 1,127 pen- alty minutes in 597 games in an 11-year career with Detroit and Carolina. Brind'Amour has spent his last eight seasons with Philadelphia. He has 273 goals and 430 assists in 778 games with Philadelphia and St. Louis. He was third in Flyers scoring last season with 74 points. Carolina came into Sunday's games four points out of a playoff spot in the tight Eastern Conference. HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP)�The New York Jets finally appear to have found someone who wants to coach their team. Three weeks after Bill Parcells re- signed and Bill Belichick turned down the job, the Jets- were set to hire Al Groh, one of the more non- descript assistant coaches in the NFL, as their new head coach. Although he will replace Parcells, one of the coaching icons of pro football, Groh doesn't seem con- cerned. "I feel very ready for this, if it were to happen he said. "I don't minimize the size of the job. I'm not trying to make it sound as if I would be taking over at some small high School, but I don't see this as that big a deal The decision to hire Groh will bring to an end three weeks of un- certainty for the franchise. Since the season ended on Jan. 3, the Jets have seen: � Parcells step down as coach, saying that while he could still do the job, the total commitment to it was lacking. � Belichick, the defensive coor- dinator and coach-in-waiting, el- evated to the position upon Parcells' announcement. � Belichick stun the team and everyone else by quitting the next day, citing the unsure ownership situation. � Representatives of Belichick filing a grievance with the NFL, claiming the team was not allow- ing him to seek employment else- where. � The estate of the late Leon Hess agree to sell the team to Rob- ert Wood (Woody) Johnson IV for $635 million. � Parcells tell Johnson he did not want to return to the sidelines. � The league rule in the Jets' fa- vor in Belichick's grievance. Com- missioner Paul Tagliabue said the contract bound Belichick to the Jets for 2000 and urged Belichick, the Jets and any outside team (New En- gland) seeking to hire Belichick to work out an agreement before Feb. 1. And now comes the expected el- evation of Groh, recommended by Parcells. Groh, the team's linebackers coach, is a former defensive coordi- nator under Parcells, and wouldn't deviate much from the approach his boss took. "It's confirmed by the results Groh said. "The system of putting a team together, running a team, the whole thing as it's been spearheaded by BiH, is one of the most success- ful operations in the history of the league. "To be in three different Super Bowls, to resurrect two programs, with New England and the Jets, ob- viously it works. And all of us that have been in it feel very confident in implementing it if given our own opportunity Groh is an expert In the Parcells I system, which features an aggressive, defense with multiple designs, usu- ally run out of a 3-4. He worked unr � der Parcells In 1989 and 1990 with! the Giants, winning a Super Bowl He reunited with Parcells in New En gland in 1993 as defensive coordi- nator, but then stepped down to- linebackers coach again when! Belichick, who spent five years as � head coach in Cleveland, joined the; Patriots. When both Parcells and. Belichick left for the Jets in 1997 Groh came, too. Three years later he is about to get his first head; coaching position since leading' Wake Forest from 1981-86. Would Groh feel overshadowed I because Parcells will remain the; organization's football chief? "Some players might say Al is a- puppet for Bill' said the Daily" News. But another disagreed. "Bill will do everything he can' to launch Al on a successful cruise the source said. "If the cruise goes- as anticipated, Bill can backoff and! let it be Al's ship The Jets also are concerned with- continuity, and promoting Groh- might keep much of the staff intact The Jets already have lost an other coach. Romeo Crennel, defen sive line coach the past three sea sons, accepted an offer Sunday to! become the defensive Coordinator for the Cleveland Browns. While Yankees win, Orioles pay (AP)-While the New York Yankees got the trophies, the Baltimore Orioles ran up the biggest taxes. Baltimore's total bill for the three years of baseball's luxury tax was $10,643,897, according to management records obtained by The Associated Press. The Yankees, who won the World Series twice in the three years of the tax, were second at $9,919,651, followed by Los Angeles at $2,712,672, Boston at $2,205,960 and Cleveland at $2,065,496. Only three others teams wound up with bills dur- ing the three years of the tax: the Atlanta Braves ($1,795,582), the New York Mets ($1,137,992) and the Florida Marlins ($139,607). Teams received their bills for the last year of the tax Jan. 10, and they are payable Jan. 31. For 1999, the Yankees had the highest tax bill for the second time in three seasons: $4,804,081. They- were followed by the Orioles ($3,475,048), the Dodg-1 ers ($2,663,079), the Mets ($1,137,992) and the Red! Sox ($21,226). While the Yankees finished with the best record in � the American League and went 11-1 in the postseason the Orioles were fourth in the AL East at 78-84 and the ! Dodgers were third in the NL West at 77-85. The luxury tax is based on the average annual val ues of contracts of players on teams' 40-man rosters as � See ORIOLE, page 11 , Pirate Jewelry nmv ,iv,iil.ilil' STCfJROLIIP i u e r s I T v 'MUTES the new logo available at Floyd G.
